Copied content with nothing added
LinkedIn may leave the video out of recommendations, so fewer people see it.
About to post? A full check of your video looks for this in what's shown and the words on screen, with a plain fix.
Check a video freeWhat triggers it
Simply copying and posting someone else's content (video, carousel, text) without your own insight.
What LinkedIn says
“Resharing valuable posts with your network is always encouraged, but simply copying and posting someone else’s content is discouraged.”
How to fix it
Reshare with your own perspective, or make your own version.
Good to know
Other creators' watermarks or faces, viral clips downloaded from other platforms. Using LinkedIn's reshare with your own commentary is fine.
